MALVERN, PA -- MEI Inc. reports that Raw Thrills has extend its multiyear agreement under which the arcade videogame developer will specify MEI as its preferred payment systems provider. Their agreement was renewed for three years.

"Our whole business depends on our games accepting the player’s money," said Raw Thrills' Eugene Jarvis. "The partnership we have established goes beyond just shipping arcade games and bill validators. Both companies have the consumer experience in mind, which is why this renewed agreement was an easy decision for us. Our goals include providing the consumer the best experience possible from the time of payment through 'game over.'"
